Freel2 Readers,

One of the channels that I watch on YouTube is called High Peak Autos.

The videos are typically interesting and entertaining.


The latest video is about a FREEL2

Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did.

If you skip to the end there is a summary of the cost to refurbish the vehicle.

I watched this today this FL2 is a poor example.

Personally I would have walked away from it anything that shows signs of neglect let alone the smell is a big NO NO for me.  2013 FL2 XS.
Defender 90 300 TDi.
Defender 90 300 TDi CSW.
1964 MGB Roadster.
1944 Willys MB "Jeep" with bullet holes. (gone)
17 hand Irish Drought Thoroughbred (mostly lame)
Nagging Old Boiler.

Mahatma Gandhi said if there is an Idiot in power those who elected him are well represented. The Enemy is our own corrupt Government.

But yet this FL2 was 'mended' and put on sale.

A case of buyer beware. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 79k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

Note, all the work was farmed out. A good home mechanic could have done most of the work himself. Also shows what a good car we have that can be brought back to a good standard. Considering the way the car had been abused Jim A
Fl2 HSE 2010 auto
Disco 2Td5 auto 2002 gone

Well said.

That is what I saw when I watched the video.

All through the video I'm going 'NO, you don't know the FL2'

and then at the end he tries to sell his services to you. With his mistakes, you could make the losses he made !!!

I watch a lot of Matt's highpeak YouTube videos. He does seem to end up spending way more on cars than he should and ending up with little profit (if he's to be believed) but he doesn't seem to skimp on car preparation. I think I'd be happy to buy a car from him. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.
2004 Zambezi silver Discovery 2 Td5 (Gone)
1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

What a whinger!!!! my valeter, my mechanic, my bodywork man?????

Who in their right mind would buy a car they have never seen?

Someone with a YouTube video to make ?
